MAGGIE AND GRACIE WERE IN THE PAPER

We got a call this morning from the drill team director at MHS asking if we had paid off the newspaper, because the girls were on the front page. The crazy thing is that there were 5 little girls that night and how lucky we are that the paper picked this pic with both the girls. Aren't they cute!!!

GRACIE'S FIRST DAY OF SUNSHINE SCHOOL

Gracie started back to Sunshine school last week (it's like mother's day out). She had a great time and loves school.

FIRST SKEETER FOOTBALL GAME

We had our first Skeeter (Mesquite High School) football game this friday. WOW, it was SO humid and hot and just plain nasty outside that night!! OH, how we love Texas. For those of you who may not know this about our family, we have long, long roots at MHS. My dad's parents, went to MHS...dated, went to prom and got married. My mom and dad went to MHS...dated, went to prom and got married. His two brother's and their wives went to MHS...dated, went to prom and got married. Matt and I went to MHS...dated and married. My brother, Sam, my two cousin's Allison and Lauren, Matt's sisters, Elizabeth and Rachel and even his mom ALL went to MHS!!!!!!!!! CRAZINESS. AND Matt was a teacher and coached at MHS. So, it's no surprise that our girls are now mascots for the drill team. OH, that my mom, aunt, cousin and myself were all on...the All Stars. Maggie was one of the mascots last year, so she is an old pro at halftime. This was Gracie's first time on the big field and she did great. They had a lot of fun and they sure are cute!!! They actually do a lot for a 5 and 3 year old. They stand with the drill team during pregame, where the football team runs through. Then after the drill team performs they run on the field to their captain and walk off with the girls. They then stand on the sidelines with the drill team during the rest of halftime and then go back to the line for the boys to run through. Alot right!!! It does make us a little nervous to see our babies standing inches from huge football players running by!!!

FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN!!!!!

Ready or not, the day is here. I thought Matt and I were ready...yea, no we were not. I've had a few random cries over the last week or two, but I felt they were over and I was ready for this morning. She was very excited and pumped at 6:15am, which is very rare for this family!!!! We got her dressed and ready and on our way. Matt and I were still okay, tear free. She walked right in to her room, not scared, actually she didn't even say good bye to us!!! I had to leave, the tears were about to flow. Matt went to tell her bye and we both about ran to the car so no one would see the two big cry babies!!! We cried all the way home. Gracie asked more than once why are you crying, what's wrong. So sweet, it's like she knew. The day was weird, VERY quite around here. But, man she had a ball. Wow, we have a little girl now, no more baby. All you with little one's, get ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HARBOUR GIRL

I had to share the pictures of them singing, maybe a future rockstar!!! The other two girls in the pictures are both 5. Oh, and Maggie was the only one that rocked the runway!! She walked half way, turned and posed, hillarious.

HARBOUR GIRL

We went to a birthday party at Harbour Girl in Rockwall. WOW, did they have fun!!! And WOW, do they use ton's of glitter!!!! The girls got their makeup and hair done and they got to dress up and sing and dance. Maggie and Gracie's favorites things to do.
